THE CORNER GET FUELED with Exciting News! DON “THE SNAKE” PRUDHOMME

IN CAM2 HISTORY: SNAKE & MONGOOSE MOVIE DRIVES CAM2 INTO SPOTLIGHT “Snake & Mongoose” tells the story of the groundbreaking accomplishments of drivers Don “the Snake” Prudhomme and Tom “the Mongoose” McEwen in the world of and how the two unlikely figures revolutionized entertainment sports marketing.

CAM2 was a major sponsor of while he was the reigning World NHRA Champion for 4 consecutive years and when he set the world Funny Car record in 1980. As a result, the Cam2 logo is prominently featured in the film–on race cars and clothing worn by the star of the film.

“Running CAM2 helped give me the edge I needed to succeed,” says Prudhomme.

“In the 70s and 80s CAM2 motor oil performance was like none other on the track, and today we have succeeded in delivering technologically advanced products that far exceed the historical results of the original product line” says Jack Baker, president of CAM2. “We are committed to producing the highest quality product and will continue to drive innovation and deliver confidence in our products,” says Baker.

The DIY motor oil became synonymous with a regal crew of race car drivers such as Don Prudhomme, Bobby Allison, Rick Mears, Bobby Unser, Mario Andretti and Mark Donahue. As years passed, CAM2 began to focus energy into further developing product technology and manufacturing capabilities, becoming the largest independent bulk distributor in the US with strategic distribution points.

Prudhomme, a seven-time NHRA U.S. Nationals winner and four-time NHRA World Champion, and Tom McEwen, an NHRA U.S. Nationals winner who also held many prestigious titles in other national events, figured out how to set aside their often bitter rivalry on the track to promote the sport. Prudhomme and McEwen raced each other at speeds in excess of 200mph for over 30 years.

Prudhomme and McEwen’s efforts eventually led to an extraordinarily lucrative sponsorship by Mattel’s “Hot Wheel” brand – a partnership that resulted in vaulting the sport of drag racing into the mainstream.

The film stars Jesse Williams (Grey’s Anatomy) as “the Snake” and Richard Blake (Dragonball: Evolution) as “the Mongoose” while also featuring Noah Wyle, Tim Blake Nelson, Fred Dryer, John Heard, Ashley Hinshaw, Ian Ziering, Leonardo Nam, Kim Shaw, and Julie Mond.

“It was a truly natural fit for Cam2 and the Snake and Mongoose Movie to work together to promote each other and we could not be more thrilled,” says Robin Broidy, the film’s producer.
